I was just discussing stuff like this with my girlfriend today. I love stuff like this, and so does her son, time for bonding.

Wow, those were really cool and I expect my husband and I are going to try some of them. 😊

Used to make potatoguns, though a bit smaller in scale and much more simple. Just used a plastic tube, sealed one end, inserted a fireworks explosive, quickly fit the potato on the other end of the tube and wait. The resulting pressure in the tube blew the potato about 20-30 meters away.

Only top ten that doesn't need clickbait.

Great video, but my nephews watched the video and of course they ended up deciding it would be great fun to make a Newtonian Fluid in my kitchen. My wife should have been better supervising them for sure, but they couldn't find the corn starch and since flour is white too, being kids they figured mixing flour and water together would work just as well. To make a long story short my wife and had one hell of a mess to clean up in the kitchen as they got the wet flour EVERYWHERE! Thanks a lot Simon.

With the radio project it's good to remember that for example radios from the 70's were quite power hungry. Better to use one from the 90's.

I thought a Sweet Potato Gun was what you would use to kill a Sweet Potato

[michaelcasely]

When I was a kid we made lighter fluid powered potato cannons that were dangerous as all get up. Fun though. Didn't realize that if we got caught we would face federal bomb making charges.

Once you mod a nerf gun, it should be called a buff gun.

#2: "You can build a segway at home for a fraction of the price"... that's even more hazardous than a hover board.

[darthguilder]

So you're saying that nerf nerfed its own weapons

[KraussEMUS]

If you click on the purple icon to the left you can see a DIY ion thruster that lifts its power supply from the ground.

Why bother with just a little tesla coil, scale it up a few times and then you got something to show off

[caijones]

You can build a rocket engine... .... Oh wait isn't that illegal ?

[Psylicium]

Why is this and Matt Santoro's latest video s-s-stuttering like hell on my Chromecast? 60fps? 4k?

[centrevez]

But creating an woman via an computer and wearing bras as helmets also by adding Oingo Boingo .music isn't one of them. Frankie Croft Smales . EIN-TV-40

[insomniac]

speak for yourself, am 30 and have a automatic nerf machine gun, with belt!
